NantWorks and Alcatel-Lucent Enter Definitive Agreement For Acquisition Of Alcatel-Lucent's Digital Multimedia Solutions Business
Alcatel-Lucent (NYSE: ALU) and Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong's convergence-focused NantWorks, LLC, today announced a definitive agreement by which NantWorks will acquire Alcatel-Lucent's Digital Multimedia Solutions product business unit. The financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
The Digital Multimedia Solutions (DMS) unit's telco-proven portfolio, which is based on its complementary discovery, interactive media and monetization platforms, along with its long international reach, experienced team and spirit, is currently accelerating into spaces as diverse as advance television, new media, digital advertising, retailing services, and health. It will serve as a springboard to launch all NantWorks mobile-based health and image recognition mobile solutions further and faster.
NantWorks sets out to change the human experience – to truly improve the well-being of humanity – by enhancing ways in which we live, work, and play. NantHealth is committed to the interests of patients who face life-threatening illness and chronic disease; NantMobile is committed to providing enriched day-to-day enjoyment, utility, and wellness to consumers. Both NantHealth and NantMobile are NantWorks subsidiaries.
NantHealth has built the first fully integrated intelligent Clinical Operating System (iCOS). This operating system enables wireless connectivity of vital signs from medical devices to directly populate the medical record and is the first cloud-based, bidirectional health record system integrating data as standard as heart rates, to as complex as 3D MRI and CT scans, to as compute intensive as Whole Genome and Proteome analysis. iCOS integrates the nation's largest deployed cancer decision support tool (EVITI) and ensures that the patient receives the right care at the right time and at the right place.
"Imagine the power of a supercomputer in the palm of your hands... for both patient and provider. With the rigorous robustness and proven scalability of the Alcatel-Lucent platform, we now have the capability to work with our teleco partners to provide the most advanced, sophisticated, 21st century health care directly to the patient on a global basis. The USA is still the world's most advanced in terms of breakthroughs in medical science. Now, through the DMS platform, we can make this advanced knowledge available to everyone on every corner of the planet," said Dr. Soon-Shiong.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

It was pretty exciting. My friend (who also owns the game) came over, and we drew a random Ancient One. We got Hastur. We decided that, since neither of us had ever killed an Ancient One, we would each choose two investigators we thought gave us the best chance against him in final combat. I got Jenny and "Ashcan" Pete. My friend went with Lily and Lola. We wanted to use Jenny to farm money to give to Pete so he could buy magical weapons at the Curiosity Shop. We went with Lily and Lola because they combined a nice combination of Fight, Luck, and Sanity. Our overall plan was to close gates without sealing them because we wanted the doom track to fill quickly to avoid as much terror as possibly. The game almost went off without a hitch.
Our initial draw of items was pretty good, and Jenny and Lily got Business Associates which seemed pretty awesome. We drew one +4 magical sword, a shotgun, and a rifle. Lola got Fight for her skill, so she was really stacked. We did not have great luck at the Curiosity Shop, but we did get the +6 magical, two-handed sword.
Like I said, everything went almost as smoothly as possible. We were at six gates open on the board. Lily was coming out of a R'Lyeh gate, so we knew we were on the edge of awakening Hastur. Jenny was in an Other World and Lola was going to grab a Blessing while Pete worked his way down to the church to get his Blessing on the next turn.
Lola got her Blessing and Lily came back to Arkham. She only got two die to close R'Lyeh. She failed. One Clue Token spent and another unsuccessful die. Bummer. Hastur is coming if we do not get a Monster Surge.
Jenny was next. She drew an encounter that was a Luck -1 check. If she passed she got two spells. Failure meant Lost In Time and Space. Her Luck was at five, so I felt pretty comfortable going for it. Of course I failed, but that was OK because I had five Clue Tokens. Surely I could roll a success with five more chances. Nope. Nine die and no success meant Lost In Time and Space. We could still hope for the Monster Surge, and Lily closing her gate next turn.
Mythos Card drawn. Seventh gate open. Jenny is dead.
That was, fortunately, the end of the bad luck. We managed to not get the Terror Level up at all. That meant Hastur's combat modifier is -0. Pete is rolling eleven die with his Fight of five and his +6 magical sword. Lola is rolling ten Blessed die with four Fight, Fight +1 Skill, Her pistol giving +1 after the physical resistance, and a +4 magical sword. Lily is going barehanded and throwing nine die.
We killed Hastur in three rounds of combat. No one took damage. It was really awesome. I am pumped! WOO!

Have you ever walked into a friend's custom-designed closet and thought, "Wow; that is fabulous! If I had this closet I'd…" What? Add more hanging bars, shoe shelves, jewelry organizers? The beauty of custom design is that you can add the accessories that you want. Custom design enhances the functionality of not only closets, but also garages, pantries, laundry rooms, home offices, entryways or mudrooms. Your whole home can be organized with your own personal touches in every room. Tailored Living® organization specialists are whole home organizers. They come to you and by discussing in detail your unique use of living space they help design solutions that meet your specific needs, rather than trying to fit you into ready-made storage solutions.Start with the basics The first step is determining what you want to do with your space.
We'll take a quick home tour and see how Tailored Living can help personalize your living space to make life easier, reduce stress and establish order. There will be some valuable organizational tips along the way as we go room to room.Closet A Tailored Living custom closet design will maximize every inch of space, including capturing vertical space generally ignored in traditional closet design. A combination of cabinets, drawers, shelves and tiered hanging rods establish the basis for creating a customized closet whether for his-and-hers, a child's or a shopaholic's haven. With a variety of finish choices and accessories, you can personalize every aspect of a closet. Some of the options include drawer and shelf dividers, velvet-lined jewelry organizers, pull-out baskets with or without colorful vinyl basket wraps, valet rods, belt and tie racks, hooks, pant hanger racks, integrated ironing board, tilt-out laundry bins and an ingenious, space-saving spiral shoe rack for that awkward corner, and it holds up to 25 pairs of shoes!
This "his and hers" closet keeps everyone organized and happy.Pantry Accessibility is the key to a well-organized pantry. Vertical storage captures valuable unused space, but tall shelving can be impractical for everyday use. Relegate top shelves to rarely used appliances, back-up supplies, or seasonal items. This leaves more "reachable" space for the things you and your family use constantly and makes tracking expiration dates much easier. Customize your pantry with deep or narrow shelves, pull-out baskets, spice or wine racks and cabinets. Adjustable shelf height lets you accommodate taller items such as two-liter drink bottles or family-sized cereal boxes. Lower storage shelves or baskets are "child-friendly," making snacks and lunch box foods easy to grab.
Your pantry can be customized for easy accessibility of the things your family uses most.Garage Often considered the man's domain, most garages actually serve all-family uses. Garages house laundry facilities, general storage, toys, tools and sporting equipment, just to name a few possibilities. An unplanned garage can become an organizational nightmare of wasted space. Tailored Living offers garage solutions that maximize space according to how you actually use your garage. Custom cabinets in a variety of colors and finishes, overhead storage and Gridwall Racks help get everything up off the floor and into functional space that provides ease of use for the whole family. PremierFlexTM garage floor tiles or our PremierOne® hybrid polymer floor coating protects and beautifies your garage floor and makes it easier to keep clean. This garage design has bountiful storage conveniently close to the entry door into the house, extending the living space.Laundry Room Not everyone has the luxury of an entire room just for laundry, but whatever space serves you as a laundry room can be maximized to organize the process. Upper and lower cabinets provide storage for laundry products so they are close at hand. Counter top space, valet rods, hooks or a pull-out ironing board all assist with turning dirty clothes into clean clothes and getting them back into the closets. Mastering the task with organizational accessories will save you time and energy. This laundry area beautifully shares storage space and work surfaces with kitchen and pantry.Entryway or Mud Room Life is made up of comings and goings and the nicer you can make them, the better. Clutter tends to accumulate in entryways and mud rooms as people drop off things, whether they belong there or not. Instituting some home organization solutions will help keep those areas clear and highly functional. Sturdy hooks for hanging coats, hats and scarves will eliminate piles on a chair or table. Cubbies for shoes will keep them up off the floor and give wet shoes and boots space to dry. Cubbies can even accommodate backpacks, lunch bags, purses or brief cases. You can personalize your space with shelves, a storage bench, hat rack, "last look" mirror or umbrella stand to make coming home more inviting, and leaving less chaotic with everything in its appointed place. These entryway individual stations keep necessities from getting lost or forgotten.Home Office Not everyone works from home, but most people have a home office of some kind. It may be just for paying bills, chatting online, or downloading recipes, but having the space organized will make it more comfortable and efficient. A home office may be multi-use or shared space with more than one work station. It could be a whole room, sharing space in a guest room, or just a nook in the kitchen, but with thoughtful design, your home office can accommodate storage, multiple users and all the equipment and cords you need! From a full L-shaped desk design to an alcove counter top, using cabinets, shelving and drawers you'll be able to hide the mess and have pleasant surroundings.
This home office design incorporating a Murphy Bed turns the space into a comfortable guest room when needed. I hope you enjoyed our home tour and that you're inspired to get organized! Call 866-675-8819 (US) or 866-257-7231 (CAN) today to schedule a free, in-home consultation or go online to www.tailoredliving.com to find an organization specialist near you. Let Tailored Living help you get your whole home under control before the holidays arrive and busy schedules get even busier. Remember, organization is a beautiful thing.
It's the time of year when "back to school" issues take center stage and this can expose areas in a home or family that need some organizational help. Not quite sure what that means?
Total home organization goes beyond custom closet design and garage cabinets. Total home organization means all space is maximized for efficient use to accommodate the demands and needs of your family's everyday life. That covers a lot of important territory. For today, we'll focus on organizational ideas that will ease some of the daily back-to-school challenges that can make family life chaotic and frustrating. A little organization can go a long way to making back-to-school life run more smoothly. No One Likes Homework Back to school means back to homework, practically every night. Making this task easier for your kids will reduce their stress and yours, and probably improve their grades. Whether homework is done as soon as they get home from school or after dinner, having a specific place is important to optimize getting the homework done as painlessly as possible. Here are some pointers to help with establishing a successful homework station:
A homework station can be in the child's room, shared space in a home office, or a nook in the kitchen, dining or family room just as long as it's available when it's time for homework and designed to be effective. A Tailored Living organization specialist can work with you to find the optimum place in your home to create a homework station and implement design solutions that maximize the space. For example, along with a place to do homework, having storage available for backpacks, books and supplies will make it easier to get ready for school in the morning. No more frantic searches for completed homework, books or permission slips that have been scattered about the house. Cabinets, shelves and drawers dedicated to housing school essentials will prevent things from getting lost and keep everything within easy reach. What's For Lunch? Lunch is a big part of the school day. It's a welcome mental break and an energy recharge. You want your kids to have a nutritional lunch and that takes a little planning. Not everyone is disciplined enough to prepare lunch the night before to save time in the morning. Even so, the question of "What's for lunch?" can come up if what you need is not available. It's discouraging to try to make a tuna sandwich when you're short on time and out of tuna! Careful kitchen and pantry design can facilitate making school lunches so that even young children can pack their own.
A kitchen pantry can be a blessing or a curse. Without organization, it can become a big, messy closet. If you need to get control of your pantry so that it's user-friendly for your family, Tailored Living can help. Creatively using vertical storage so there's no wasted wall space with a combination of custom shelves, drawers, pull-out bins and baskets can accommodate more than you would imagine!
You can even have a special area for quick mixes such as cookies and cupcakes for those late night announcements: "Oh, Mom! I'm supposed to bring snacks for 35 kids tomorrow." If back to school demands are causing stress for your family, call 866-675-8819 (US) or 866-257-7231 (CAN) today to schedule a free, in-home consultation for a custom pantry design or even whole home organization ideas to find that ideal homework station. Go online to www.tailoredliving.com to find an organization specialist near you and start getting organized.

Tired of spending valuable cooking time searching through piles of spices, ingredients, and that one can of dried tomatoes that you know you bought but can't remember where you put it? If this sounds familiar, maybe it's time to consider a new pantry design.
The kitchen and its surrounding area is often the hub of holiday gatherings and is one of the most important rooms in the house during the holidays. Guests will come to the kitchen to talk and to drink and of course to eat! You will want to make sure that your kitchen is ready to handle the increase in foot traffic. It is best to use your new pantry designto stow any items that were on your kitchen counters. Items left on counters run the risk of being knocked over, broken or spilled with a large group of people milling about the kitchen counters. The smart and safe thing to do is to incorporate more storage into new pantry designsand to organize your kitchen supplies and ingredients in a way that both makes sense and is easy for you to retrieve when necessary.
There are many options available to you in terms of storage for your new pantry design. Tailored Living has a plethora of storage options ranging from customized spice racks, slide out bins to hold produce, and specialized wine racks built specifically to fit your new pantry design. Storage doesn't have to be fancy, simple shelving – when done right – can really give you the space you were looking for in your new pantry design. For example, many people have shelving in their pantries, but waste large amounts of space by keeping such large gaps in between the shelves. With customized shelving from Tailored Living, you will be making the most out of every inch of space available to you.
To turn your pantry design ideas into reality,give the local specialists at Tailored Living a call today. A Tailored Living home organization specialist will be happy to perform an in-home consultation in which they will talk you through all options and upgrades available to you. What are you waiting for? Get started today!
Every homeowner's kitchen pantry design is different than the next. It may be different because of their diets or because they don't cook a lot of meals. Each and every kitchen pantry design should be customized to organize the contents in a way that makes the most sense to whoever will be using the pantry most often. The best way to do this is to section off your pantry into areas where you can grab everything you need without having to think about and search out where the items are stored.Tailored Living home organization specialists have outlined some possible sections to create with your new kitchen pantry design modules that will save you time and energy when cooking up your delicious holiday dishes.Sections to consider creating:Sauces- Barbecue sauces, salad dressings, liquid smoke, vanilla, anything in liquid form that you use in your recipes should be stored in one central area so you always know where to look for it.Mixes- Cake, pie, bread, and brownie mixes along with anything else of this category should all be placed together. Since they aren't used as often as some of the other things in your pantry, you may want to consider placing them somewhere out of your immediate reach.Spices- A spice rack or spice drawer is perfect for keeping all of your flavor bursting spices in one place and making it easy to see them and pick out which you need. Fresh vegetable and fruit storage- Airtight modules that can slide or tilt out are perfect for storing your fruit and vegetables. There are also baskets available for anything that doesn't need to be kept in an airtight container!Recipe books- Your library of recipe books and homemade recipes that you have collected throughout the years can all be stored in a place out of the way, but right there whenever you need them.Custom cabinetry to match your home style- Although this isn't a, "section" per say, it is a section of your home and your kitchen pantry design should complement the look and feel that you have adopted for the rest of your homeTurn your average pantry into an organized and instinctual space with the help of your local Tailored Living home organization specialist today!

June 30 (Bloomberg) -- Four large accounting firms in Australia didn't perform proper audits in 17 percent of the cases reviewed by the country's regulator, with smaller firms falling short almost a third of the time.
The firms, which aren't identified in the report, generally didn't include sufficient evidence to back the conclusions reached, according to the study, which was carried out between July 1, 2009 and Dec. 31 and was released yesterday by the Australian Securities & Investment Commission.
"Investment managers need to give corporate governance aspects much greater weight in their investment analysis," said Prasad Patkar, a money manager who helps oversee about $1.7 billion at Platypus Asset Management Ltd. in Sydney. "Typically, it's not at front-and-centre of their thinking, and I'm not sure some managers even read the audit report."
ASIC is focusing enforcement on so-called gatekeepers in Australia's financial system, according to Chairman Greg Medcraft. Those gatekeepers include auditors and directors of companies, with the regulator having won a case this week in which a judge found Centro Properties Group directors were liable for failing to disclose all of the company's debt in its 2007 annual report.
"They need to improve," Medcraft said in an interview yesterday in Sydney, referring to the accounting firms. "Auditors have a key role in providing independent assurance on financial reports," he said in a statement.
Professional Skepticism
In the 18-month survey, ASIC inspected 21 accounting firms, with four identified as "larger national." The regulator reviewed 131 files, with about half coming from the big firms.
"Our audit inspection program has identified a number of instances where we have concerns about the auditors' judgment and the level and attitude of professional skepticism," the study authors wrote.
Instances were found where auditors sought to corroborate, rather than challenge, the judgment of their clients, according to the study.
"A culture of professional skepticism needs to be supported and promoted" by leaders of the accounting firms, according to the study.
"We will continue to work with the regulator and the practitioners to ensure the audit opinion is supported by the audit evidence," said Lee White, the executive general manager of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia.

Online Consumer Psychology addresses many of the issues created by the Internet and goes beyond the topic of advertising and the Web to include topics such as customization, site design, word of mouth processes, and the study of consumer decision making while online. The theories and research methods help provide greater insight into the processes underlying consumer behavior in online environments. Broken into six sections, this book: focuses on community and looks at the Internet's ability to bring like-minded individuals from around the world into one forum; examines issues related to advertising, specifically click-through rates and advertising content placed within gaming online and wireless networks; provides readers with reasons why consumers customize products and the benefits of customization; discusses the psychological effects of site design; asks the question of whether the Internet empowers consumers to make better decisions; and discusses research tools that can be used online.

Hello everyone! I just joined this forum, so I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I have been looking for a variety of blackberry called 'Nelson.' I read about it in the book "The Holistic Orchard" by Michael Phillips, where the variety is profiled and recommended. Apparently 'Nelson' is very cold hardy, only beginning to die back at -25ďż˝ F. Whoa! I was so excited, because it got down to -13ďż˝ F here this winter and I had thought I couldn't try blackberries. Unfortunately I can't seem to find this variety anywhere. (Note that, as far as I can tell, this blackberry is not being confused with the blueberry variety also called Nelson.) I found a page from an older Fedco trees catalog online and it seems that they were selling it in the past. It's nowhere to be found on the Fedco trees catalog from this year. I haven't been able to find any other information. I would contact Fedco, but they're probably very busy with filling orders right now. I joined this forum to see if I might find any more information about this variety. Does anybody grow them by any chance? Alternatively, can anyone recommend any other cold hardy blackberries? |

Looks like one of those local county-level plant sales--perhaps they carry the same plants year after year. I think the above list was from 2010. There are search references to a 2014 sale. Below is the basic website: http://www.waldosoilandwater.org/Waldo_County_Soil_and_Water/Welcome.html |

Guess what? I was in Tractor Supply yesterday and Nelson was the only Blackberry Variety they had-and they had dozens of plants. TS might not be the best source for trees, but the blackberry plants looked good and were only $4.95 each. I bought one and it had 3 separate canes with good roots and the beginning of some sprouts, so 3 good plant starts for $5, plus no shipping and you can get them and plant them in a day or so. Hopefully they have TS stores in your area and that they carry the same types as my store in KY. Hope this helps you. Kevin |

Just curious - for people who dig up their bananas and store them in a cool basement, garage, or root cellar for winter, how do you go about re-introducing your plants to outdoors in spring?
For the plants that I grew over winter as houseplants, or even the one that's in a pot that was stored in the semi dark basement, I put on the north deck and even draped a burlap screen in front of it - hoping to gradually get it used to sun once again. Then I have another plant that I dug up in fall and stored the root in the basement. It does have some green growth. I am wondering how adapt this one to outdoors. That is, wait until the proper time and just dig a hole and plant in the flower bed, or maybe pot up temporarily and then gradually get it used to better light? Maybe if I plant directly in the flower bed I could screen it for a few days to get it used to sun once again? No matter how I try, the 'indoor' leaves always seem to gradually be damaged but the new growth seems okay. I just don't want to kill the plants after trying to store over the winter. Last year I had one plant that I stored the root and then potted up and it rotted, so I know I have to be careful not to overwater until it's in active growth. Thanks!

I think the best way to acclimate it to being outdoors is to cut off all the leaves. This year mother nature did this for me when a nor'easter came with wind gusts of 75 mph ripping all the leaves off. Then a late frost in mid to late march browned some of the leaves. Now the new leaves comming out are not burned and look good. I had mine in a closet in my basement with a light on all winter long. It did manage to grow a few leaves but those leaves were weak and had no chance of lasting outdoors. Good luck! |
Thanks Alex. It is true, no matter how hard you try, the leaves the plants develops outdoors usually get ripped and then yellow and fall off. I guess the exception to this would be if a person was lucky enough to have a greenhouse where the plant got great light year round. But, I guess the important thing is that the plant survives, as the ones you buy at the garden center aren't as big. |
I meant to say that the leaves that the plant develops indoors, overwinter, are the ones that get ripped and fall off. The ones it grows while outdoors are obviously stronger/nicer. |
- Posted by tropicalzone7 7 (My Page) on Sat, May 15, 10 at 11:22
Same here. I dont have a greenhouse and all the sunny windows are usually taken up by plants that need it more so it gets stuck in the basement closet. I think the main goal is to keep that stalk alive and green because we all want them to get bigger since, like you said, bananas are hard to get at a big size especially out of the tropics. Good luck! |
- Posted by andres_zone3 (My Page) on Tue, May 18, 10 at 3:23
Glen do you find that even outdoor produce Musa Basjoo leaves get torn from the winds here on the prairies. Here in Edmonton, my potted basjoo always looks pretty ragged and it doesnt grow very fast for me. How about you?? Does it grow fast in Winnipeg and get big like they do in southern gardens??? I have found that the Red Abyssinian banana looks better and is more wind-tolerant here in Alberta. Also it grows consistenly throughout the summer. What are your thoughts on bananas in the prairies??? Do you plant the basjoo in the ground or keep it container grown. I have a new basjoo and I dont know if I should plant it in the ground or in a larger pot... |
Hi Andres, I don't find that basjoo gets more torn leaves than abyssinian but maybe I just never noticed. My yard is pretty sheltered but it's true we can get some nasty wind. On the internet you do see some pictures of large plants with torn leaves but I think it makes them look sort of "palm tree" like. I am sure my bananas don't grow as big as southern gardens. Mainly because the growing season is shorter. As for pot versus ground, the first year it probably doesn't make as much difference, but after the first year they need quite a big pot or else plant in the ground. I started an ensete from seed and it did good the first year in a pot. The second year I transplanted into a slightly bigger pot but it really didn't get that much bigger. Of course, it did spend part of the summer just replacing 'indoor' leaves. I prefer to put them in the ground but love the tropical look on the deck so will definitely have some in pots. Especially smaller ones like zebrina. Good luck! |
For those in warmer climates, where the corm is able to survive the winter in the ground, I've found I'll have much bigger plants by the end of May from ones that sprout from the mother in the spring, than if I had dug one up from the previous season. I think having established roots vs. cutting them when digging helps them grow faster than previously dug up plants. And they have the benefit of developing into a nice grove of a couple dozen plants within about 3 years. Now, the only time I'll dig any up in the fall is to thin out the groves where they overtake my walks or shade other plants too much. |

After growing both ensete and musa for several years, in your climate, the Abysinnian bananas do best. Musa don't seem to tolerate cool nights as well as the ensete. Yes! Cut off the leaves most of the way down towards the stalk. They will just break off anyway. I moved three 12-14 foot tall ensete, and four smaller musa outside two weeks ago, and I cut off all of their beautiful leaves. It's OK. The ensete has started pushing up new leaves even in our cold rainy weather (in the low 40's F.) the last several days. The musa are just sitting there waiting for warmer weather. |

Poor infrastructure and manpower shortage plague the MWD, which has a hefty budgetary backing of Rs. 1,027 crore
It is like entering a duel with hands tied. This is the piquant situation the Minorities Welfare Department (MWD) finds itself in. Notwithstanding the government sanctioning a hefty budget of Rs. 1,027 crore for the department, there have been no tangible results, thanks to poor infrastructure and insufficient manpower.
With more money in the kitty, the expectations of minorities have risen. But, the department has failed to deliver owing to various reasons. The crucial factor is shortage of staff and basic infrastructure. Of the Rs. 476 crore released, minority institutions have been able to spend just Rs. 305.83 crore so far. A huge Rs. 171 crore remains unspent when scores of minority issues are hanging fire.
Syed Omer Jaleel, who recently took over as Special Secretary, MWD, has the arduous task of stemming the rot. He is contemplating radical measures to breathe life into the department. His first priority is to get staff for the sanctioned posts and to appoint Deputy Collector rank officials as District Minority Welfare Officers.
Statistics show that the Social Welfare Department has the cadre strength of 149 at the headquarters: Tribal Welfare, 77 and BC Welfare, 64. But, the MWD has just 27 personnel. Worse, most of them are on deputation and are of the level of Superintendent or even less.
Surprisingly, most departments have not spent the budget allocated to them. For instance, the A.P. State Minorities Finance Corporation has been sanctioned Rs. 75 crore towards subsidy for the bank-linked loan scheme. But, till date, it has been able to spend just Rs. 7 crore. The indecision of the Group of Ministers on the subsidy pattern is cited as the reason for the tardy implementation of the scheme.
Similarly, under the training and employment scheme, only Rs. 7 lakh has been spent of the Rs. 4.21 crore released. The A.P. State Christian Finance Corporation has not spent a single pie from the Rs. 1.35 crore sanctioned under the same scheme.
The Wakf Board, too, has drawn a blank in utilising the budget. It is just sitting tight on the Rs. 15-crore grant-in-aid. The Urdu Academy has, however, put up a better performance by spending Rs. 2.75 crore out of the sanctioned amount of Rs. 6.08 crore.
"I would like to ensure that every single pie is spent properly," promises Mr. Jaleel. He has also plans to identify schemes for other minorities like Christians, Parsis, Buddhists, Jains and Sikhs.

It's been five years since we've heard new music from the Elected, Rilo Kiley guitarist Blake Sennett's indie pop side-project. Bury Me In My Rings, the Elected's third LP, finds Sennett playing most of the instruments and handling production as well. It also marks the former Sub Pop act's first album with Vagrant. Their sound these days is inspired by the breezy jams of the '70s/'80s west coast music scene. The blueprint for "Babyface" specifically seems to be Lindsey Buckingham's first solo album. Check that out, along with the premiere of "Go For The Throat," after the jump.
Bury Me In My Rings is out 5/17 via Vagrant. Mark Grotjahn created the cover art displayed above.

About DJ
I enjoy humor. I know everybody does, but I really enjoy it. Growing up, I didn't watch sports. I would instead sneak down at night, turn on HBO, and watch comedians while recording their sets on cassette. Then I could play it over and over ago, and try to figure out the subtle genius that is a well-posited dick joke. I never wanted to be a comedian, nor write for a television show, or books, or films. I probably don't have the chops for any of that, quite frankly. I just enjoy making my friends laugh.
I have been sending out funny (but true) stories to his friends for the past 15 years. In the early years, I would get into crazy scenarios (like drinking a 40oz of Olde English 800 in McDonald's while eating dinner). But the problem with doing crazy things, is you generally upset a lot of folks. Like police and other authorities. Plus, you're usually a giant asshole. People who are funny don't have to do stuff like that. They're just funny.
So, this website is simply for people who enjoy my sense of humor. I got the idea years ago in my early twenties when I was working for a beer manufacturer, touring around the country doing crazy things. I would post my road-reports and send mass emails to my friends.
During those days I was once in Chicago, on break, and at a random party where I knew just a few people. A girl was introduced and after hearing my name said, "I get your emails – I love them!" And yet, we couldn't connect how she received them. She wasn't on my list, nor a direct friend of anyone I knew. I know this sounds stupid, but it was like the highest compliment I could receive. I had a pretty crappy life, I guess. But, I realized that these emails were forwarded at least a few times, which says at least I was more interesting than those email forwards your grandmother sent you about God. Those sucked.
So, ten years later I'm going to try the Web 2.0 version. Enjoy.

I love the premise of your blog, DJ. I'm convinced that laughter is one of the most healing things on earth, so anyone who makes people laugh (if it's not too much at the expense of others) is a healer.

Sir, I assure you, if you have never had a horse as a girlfriend, you have not had a crappy life (just ask sexually frustrated WWII soldiers). So please clarify, sir : which of the two is a lie? Or have you had a different equine girlfriend, just not this specimen? If so, I would be eternally grateful to you if you describe your shenanigans with said ex in detail. You see, my ancestors were WWII soldiers, and the horse-lovin' genes have stood the test(es) of time.
Despite all the crap.

I need an ornamental grass that is hardy to zone 7 and will tolerate alkaline soil. I'd like it to be 1-2' tall without the seedheads. I have some lindheimer muhly that is just a little bigger than what I want. I had some gulf muhly that I loved, but it is an annual here. I've looked at some feather grasses. What do you all think about those? Thank you all! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I started Stipa capillata and Nassella tenuissima from seed last year, and like them both very much. My soil is acid, but I don't think that matters much to either grass. I'll find out this spring if the Mexican Feather Grass over-wintered here, and I hope it does, because I bought a lot of seed. I like it well enough to grow it as an annual, but would prefer to have it return. The Stipa capillata will quite likely come back, but isn't as fine as the Nasella. Another one I discovered by mistake is Eragrostis spectabilis, Purple Love Grass. It was traded as Pink Muhly, and is every bit as nice. It starts beautifully from seed and has stunning cloud-like infloresence over 12-18" foliage. |

Thanks, donn. I think I'm going to try all of them and see which one(s) I like the best. I'm really excited about the Eragrostis. It sounds like it looks like the gulf muhly. I appreciate the help! |
